Ghetto

What is life for the ghetto bro
Where we sleep, where we eat be like gutter bro
We live with the rats and the roaches bro
We drink and we smoke every night bro
Pop pills, snuff gum
Sniff coke bro
Forget where we live
Forget who we are bro
My hungry son in the ghetto bro
You wonder if he cares if i steal bro
Alcohol hooool!
Cannabinol ooooool!
Take me away aaaaa ay!
Take me away aa yiaa!

A wise old man
I used to know
Used to say
Alcohol, is vacation
For the poor

Said if i die for the money what is wrong with it
I'll probably die anyway, if i don't get it
We know the ghetto ain't a place to raise a family
I'm tryna raise the mini me away from agony
Shit

My T.D teacher told me come here Ogidan
I know you love your books, i went to college
How much do i earn
Books in ghetto really gets you nowhere boy
Focus on music, and then maybe
You'll be heading somewhere boy

Half brother killed on my gram status
Niggers still dey wonder why do vyk hate us
I dey carry gun everyday
In the morning when i pray
With one eye on display like
What was i suppose to
The street was my home too
Let this niggers kill me
Or try to get my own tool
I was twelve years old
Interhouse sport
Went to go see a crush
Them amputate Mashood
Just because he tried to throw a punch
I learnt to fight, i learnt to runaway
For he who gets slain
Doesn't rise to fight another day

We call it home they call it war zone
We find peace within
Its the center of a cyclone

The land where the dangerous are most famous
The land where the crimes are the most heinous
The land wey police self dey try kill us
For this Land na only God wey go fit save us
Huh...

What is life for the ghetto bro
Where we sleep, where we eat be like gutter bro
We live with the rats and the roaches bro
We drink and we smoke every night bro
Pop pills, snuff gum
Sniff coke bro
Forget where we live
Forget who we are bro
My hungry son in the ghetto bro
You wonder if he cares if i steal bro
Alcohol hooool!
Cannabinol ooooool!
Take me away aaaaa ay!
Take me away aa yiaa!
